Sunday Final Nationals: Despite Multi-Year Lows for Each, Indy 500 on ABC Outdraws NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 on Fox for Third Straight Year

Fox won the Sunday prime time of Memorial Day weekend with the “NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series: Coca-Cola 600.” The race, however, was rain-delayed for nearly two hours and as a result, its average audience of 4.64 million viewers means it was its least-watched edition since at least 2000.

In the afternoon, ABC’s “Indianapolis 500” averaged 5.46 million viewers, a record-low audience for the famous race. Nonetheless, it is third consecutive year the Indy 500 bested NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 in viewership after a string of eight consecutive years where the Coca-Cola 600 was the day’s most-watched auto race.
